Bio: nOur rehabbing company, Caledonia Construction was founded in 2002 as a general contracting Home Improvement company with a focus on small home remodeling projects,... More and the property management sector, as an apartment turnover specialist. We excelled and became the go to vender for a number of property management companies in Boston, including Winn Residential and Maloney Properties. nnnIn 2004, we decided to go after larger contracts and won our first $300,000 whole-house remodeling contract the same year. This experience paved the way for a joint venture partnership with a competitor, Woodland Construction. Along the way, we built new multi-family properties, constructed additions and remodeled homes for clients in Metro Boston, resulting in a $10 Million dollar revenue operation by 2007. nnHow this all started: A message from David Allen, Founder of Caledonia Construction Company:nI came to the United States in 1990. On entering the country I joined the construction trade in a residential remodeling company operated by two of my cousins. In 1993, at one of the low points of the housing market, the three of us pooled our resources and bought a distressed property for three thousand cash. We rehabbed the property completely, rented it for a time, and sold it in 1995. nThis exposure quickly taught me many things about the construction and real estate business including the fact that the management skills in my cousins’ operation were inadequate to effectively grow their business. And, with my interest in the construction business now high I decided to educate myself about the business. Subsequently, in the Fall of 1993 I enrolled in the Business Management Program at the University of Massachusetts, Boston with a goal to learn how to operate a business. Over the ensuing four years I worked a full time job while studying full time, graduating in 1997 with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. nThe experiences proved invaluable in further developing my understanding of business systems, business development and customer relations, and have contributed directly to my decision to become a business owner.nSo, in 2002 I acquired my Construction Supervisor License and founded Caledonia Construction. And have since developed Caledonia into a recognized brand in building exterior improvement and home performance improvement services in the Boston market. nWhy are we in it? For 22 yearn now, I have been in and around home improvement projects. I have seen many businesses failed mainly because they did not value enough the customer satisfaction aspect of the home improvement business. Caledonia has come to appreciate the importance of keeping the home improvement customer satisfied. After all, we are in her home pulling things apart while she and her family is trying to live a normal life. In truth, this is very different from the customer interaction that is spoken of in the retail business space, where often as a formality onn Less

Posted: The following five initial essential skills for deal evaluation are important factors in helping to determine whether the lead you are evaluating is a deal or a... More
Furthermore, you must be able to evaluate a deal quickly otherwise you will never be able to increase the number of leads you look at in the course of a month.
After determining the essentials, and realizing that there is money to be made, the deal requires further evaluation to confirm all your initial figures, assumptions, and expectations. If you have pre-screened your lead properly you should have most of the five essentials solidly in place before doing any further evaluation. But what are these essentials?

Step 1: Determine Motivation
The first essential is the seller's motivation for selling their property. This is readily obtainable by asking a simple, concise question, "Mr. or Mrs. Seller, is there a
particular reason why you are interested in selling at this time?"
You will find most motivated sellers will readily divulge this information, and those who question why you need this information typically have no motivation to sell.
The answer to this question will not make or break a deal but, the answer is a great starting point in separating the #deals from the duds. If the seller responds by saying, "I'm just trying to see if I can get my price...there is probably little motivation to sell and it is unlikely to result in a workable deal.
On the other hand, if the seller responds by saying, "The property needs a lot of work and has been vacant for a while", you may have a lead that justifies spending more time and paying closer attention.

Step 2: What is the Least the Seller Is Willing to Take for the Property
The next important piece of information you need from the seller is how much they are currently asking for the property.
This is one of the most important questions you need to ask during your initial phone conversation.
This will help determine whether or not the property is worth looking at and give you a starting point in the negotiations. Depending on how well you know the neighborhood you can sometimes determine the likelihood of a deal from the answer to this question alone. Occasionally you will have a seller who openly says "I am just looking to get out of debt."
This response doesn't necessarily mean the deal is a slam dunk, as he or she may owe more than the property is worth, however, a response of this type always corresponds with some level of motivation. We will need more information to further classify the lead as a deal or a dud but seeing such motivating factors is a step in the right direction.

Step 3: Determine What the Seller Owes
The next important information about the property and general circumstance of the deal for us to determine, is the seller's level of debt. This is an important piece of the overall equation and you should begin determining this in your initial phone call with the seller based on the lead interview sheet.
Be sure to determine the total debt against the property and the composition of that debt whether it be a first mortgage amount, second mortgage amount, judgment lien amounts, IRS lien amounts, or some other form of debt. After you know the debt information and how much the seller wants for the property you can infer how much equity the seller thinks he has established.
Again, this amount is just the seller's perception of how much he or she is initially willing to sell the house for versus how much is owed.

Step 4: Estimate the Repair Costs
During you initial conversation with the seller try to determine a ball park figure for the repair costs for the property.
Now, being the trustworthy people that all sellers are (mild hint of sarcasm), they always portray their property as being in much better condition then it actually is. There are a few leading questions you can ask that will make the seller divulge a bit more information about the property than might otherwise come to light.
Asking the seller if the property needs work will probably get you nowhere. However asking, "If you were planning on staying in the property for an additional two to three years is there anything you would fix or replace?"
This pointed question will go a long way toward helping you determine how much work the property needs and whether or not the property is worth visiting.

Step 5: Determining the After Repair Value and the As-Is Value
The final two pieces of initial information you need to properly classify the deal as worthwhile or not are the 'As-Is' and 'After Repair' values.
To do this you will need access to comparable sales or "comps" as most real estate ##investors call them. If you've made great relationship with a local Realtor who can get these comps from the Multiple Listing Service that is one #option There are also a variety of different services available online.
You want to locate comps that are geographically close to the property (1/2 mile or less), and similar in size and style to your subject property. This will help you determine the After Repair Value or what the property is worth when you are done fixing the property.
These comparables will also help you determine the As-Is value of the property or what the property is worth as it sits right now. Like the repair figures, these values are only estimates until you can actually perform a more detailed on-site evaluation.
At this point being aware of market values and the selling price of properties in the neighborhood in question becomes a very important piece of the puzzle.
The better you know the specific area, the more accurate your in-office As-IS and ARV estimates will become.
Knowing your market area well strengthens your ability to evaluate any deal.
Being able to accurately comp properties, for every property, is what will give you confidence to make the right offer every time.

Bio: My name is Mark McLaughlin. I have been interested in the renovation of properties since drawing sketches of layouts in high school. I never went to college, yet... More have always had the burning desire to learn. No matter where I have been or what i'm doing in life, if I do not know what i am seeing, watching, or doing it captivates my interest.. That is until I have a solid understanding of who, what,when,where,why and how an idea, task, or process is.

Starting the summer of high school as a dump truck driver for a small family owned construction company out of my hometown, just looking for some scratch to get around and enjoy my freedom at the time. I quickly fell in love going to site after site picking up all the debris. As I would clean and clear the job site to keep everyone moving and working efficiently it would give me time to see this process of building homes. New structures, marrying an addition onto the side or top of ones house to make it look as it was always there, renovating an attic space or basement to accommodate the "man cave" or extra bedrooms needed for the growing family, or simply renovating and existing house to bring an updated appeal of the owners character and taste into the space. This world was something that had always interested me and now I could walk around inside of it and began picking everyone's brain to see how every piece of the puzzle came out of the box and was put together.

I skipped out on going to Northeastern, a decision I still wonder if it was against my better judgement yet I feel as though things have worked out regardless due to a solid work ethic instilled by my parents, and the constant burning for understanding and knowledge. I began working as a carpenter after that summer when the company owner had come to ask if I would like to work for him. It was an honor that after only 2 months of driving a dump truck, they thought enough of me to join their team. After a few months of maintenance work with the company I was assigned to a foreman as an apprentice. 5 years with this foreman and it was not enough. He was the type of carpenter that had been around seen it all and was creative. There is a textbook method to every process, but working with Steve got you to look at a task, difficult or not, and come up with the solution in your own way, not just the textbook process of putting things together. It is construction and I do not seem to make it more than that, however if you have ever been on a job site, everything does not go according to plan and sometimes without proper scheduling and communication things could go awry. Steve was your man when things went awry and he was constantly called upon in these situations. Not always happy to be called into these situations, yet he was experienced and creative enough to get the job done no matter the circumstances and still maintain the desired outcome. It was invaluable the experience I received working with Steve. I soaked it all up and stayed involved in everything he did. I was his shadow. From the commercial end, (renovating banks, nursing homes, ATM swap outs, Retail space) to the residential end, (site work, framing, insulating, sheetrock and drywall, finish work, stair work, kitchens, baths, built-in and custom cabinetry, porches, decks, roofing, siding, flooring) there was nothing we didn't come across. Better yet nothing that was too much for Steve.

Once Steve and I split up I was brought in Boston, working with another one of the brothers on the brownstones. This was another type of building altogether with each building being tied into one another, some 70-80 years since their last renovation, inside a brick shell, much more masonry than i was used to working with Steve on all the commercial and residential projects we encountered. Simpler in a way yet the process was different with historical societies involved and working in a densely populated area like the city, parking, building, materials, everything was much harder to come by..This forced you to plan ahead and be far more efficient with your time and planning, because time is money and you could lose a lot of both with the many variables constantly juggled working in a situation like downtown Boston. Being an Eagle Scout helped with leading and teamwork in this setting. At 24 I successfully completed a renovation of a brownstone on Beacon Hill with a crew of 4 men, (myself, another carpenter, and 2 laborers I noticed a work ethic that I noticed could keep up with the pace i preferred to perform at). From demo to the finish cleaning crew walking out the door, I was involved with the architect, homeowner, project managers, subcontractors, from start to finish. I had a great mentor in my boss and leader. He let me run and perform full steam ahead as I had asked him stepping in from time to time and checking on me, correcting my mistakes and constructively criticizing methods and process he had preferred and seen work for himself and others he managed over the years. Extremely professional and expertly spoken, he was quite the mentor to follow. This is where I began my desire for not just the hands on portion of construction with all my coworkers getting dirty and bringing a physical product to life, but now an appreciation for all the behind the scenes goings on of how a project of this magnitude and complication can come to fruition. I now needed to learn how to work on both sides of the fence. Be in the field and be a guys guy, as well as throw on a dress shirt, and a pair of khakis to sell, bid, and manage the job. Win over a homeowner and convince them you and your team are the people for them in an industry with such competition.

After completing this job on Beacon Hill and my new appreciation for both sides of the industry and the professionality it takes to waltz from one side to the other while maintaining everyones good graces, from homeowners, to coworkers, to my superiors proved to be a challenging task. I loved the rush and enjoyed the challenge. From the smaller cabinet installs, to 5,000 square foot renovations (3 or 4 going at the same time) as well as the many issues to attend to and schedules to keep in now what was a company that employed almost 100 employees at times. the years from 24-29 were another 5 years where I could not have gained this type of experience anywhere else.

After the now 12 years I had soaking everything up from my time at the company where I started out just driving a dump truck for a high school summer job to running up to 30 people at a time and multiple jobs at a time I started to get the itch to now own my own business and began looking into lining work up for myself. I had by the age of 30 flipped three houses on the side while still working for the business I was with and taking on as many side projects I could keep up with. I've been called a workaholic, but I love what I do and to me creating a new home for someone, all the while keeping up with the ever changing styles and decor.

Since starting on my own I have come in contact with an investor who has many helpful contacts, and a team that I have started working with and we are 8 weeks into our first project moving ahead of schedule and under budget. With everything mentioned above and my current team and partner in place, as well as the current status of the real estate market we are looking for investors to take on more projects at the same time and keep the profits rolling into future and larger projects.

Please contact me if working with myself or my team feels like it might be a right fit for you. Less
